He recounted the 1990's era history of crypto export controls, the issues covered in their "keys under doormats" report, [1] and some consideration of more recent events such as the USG/Apple case and how similar issues might play out in future. (My own not at all startling prediction: ongoing tensions between law enforcement and all of us working to improve security and privacy are sort of inevitable it seems.) From my POV this was a great way to bring ADs who don't follow the minutiae up to speed on these topics, but didn't set out any particularly new direction for work in the IETF. (Thanks go to Jeff for the talk and to Kathleen who organised it.) Cheers, S.
